A fascinating selection of archive programmes celebrating Scottish Lochs and Estuaries.

Delve into the history of Scottish waters, from buildings on the shores of Loch Lomond to the mysterious mine lying underneath the Firth of Forth and Loch Tay's underwater forest.

In this edition, we're dipping our toes in Scotland's watery history with an exploration of our country's most famous Lochs and Estuaries. 

We'll be hearing about castles and buildings on the shores of Loch Lomond and Loch Fyne. We'll go below the waterline to hear about prehistoric water dwellings on Loch Tay. And we'll be hearing many stories of boats and steamers, from the tragedy of the French Destroyer that destroyed itself on the Firth of Clyde, to the SS Gitana -the majestic wee steamboat that once sailed the length of Loch Rannoch.
